In one cold winter, when snow was falling
There came a lady, whose voice was calling
She chose a poor one to spread her message
A gift of flowers, blossoms of hope
She gave him roses, petals from heaven
Sprouted from her love, grown in her heart
She brings us roses, sign of protection
Clothed in her promise of lasting prayer
O blessed Virgin, make us a garden
Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign
Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit
Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi
We share God's roses as we hold each hand
So sweet the fragrance, so tender to touch
We are God's roses, bouquet of Mary
Given to Jesus, held by God's heart
O blessed Virgin, make us a garden
Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign
Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit
Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi
In night of winter, blossoms are sleeping
The poor are crying, for justice weeping
We must bring roses to ease their burden
Santa Maria: we answer your prayer
O blessed Virgin, make us a garden
Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign
Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit
Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi
O blessed Virgin, make us a garden
Plant in us God's word, that Jesus may reign
Santa Maria, pray for the Spirit
Gather your harvest, de las rosas de mi
